Sunflower oil fatty acids

Sunflower oil fatty acids (CAS 84625-38-7), also known commercially as Emery 244, are derived from the hydrolysis of sunflower oil and consist predominantly of linoleic and oleic acid fractions.

Where is Sunflower oil fatty acids used?

• Personal care: moisturizing and emulsifying performance in creams, lotions, and conditioning products for skin and hair care
• Coatings and alkyd resins: reactive building blocks in drying oil formulations, where the unsaturated fatty acid profile influences film formation and flexibility
• Industrial lubricants: renewable, functional base component in metalworking fluids and bio-based lubricant blends
• Food processing: processing aids and emulsifier precursors where vegetable-derived fatty acid sourcing is required
• They function as functional intermediates and surface-active components.

Good to know: Food-grade material conforms to FCC purity standards. Iodine value and composition profiles are standard quality parameters.

Commercial specifications

• Bulk, IBC, or drum packaging
